Payday loans are becoming a challenge of increasing gravity for society. Statistics show that the number of young adults with financial issues related to such loans has been growing over the past few years. Despite efforts to halt this trend, little is changing. Government mandated warning labels in commercials are typically used to inform about the risks associated with the consumption of certain goods and services, such as alcohol and tobacco. Despite issues related to payday loans, there is currently no legislation in Sweden mandating the inclusion of warnings in marketing of such loans.

Background:Incoming medical alarm is a common routine for emergency nurses. Working in these situations may represent a major burden on the individual nurse.

Varje år tar cirka 3700 sjuksköterskeexamen i Sverige. Efter examen påbörjas en transition från student till arbetande sjuksköterska. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva den nyutexaminerade sjuksköterskans upplevelse av denna transition. Studien baserades på tolv vetenskapliga artiklar som analyserades med en kvalitativ manifest innehållsanalys. Analysen resulterade i fem slutkategorier: att ha förväntningar på vården och sjuksköterskerollen, men bli besviken på verkligheten, att känna sig otillräckligt förberedd och det är överväldigande med allt nytt, att känna stress, rädsla och oro över det ansvar som vilar på axlarna, att känna sig ensam och sakna stöd samt att bli trygg och bekväm i sin sjuksköterskeroll genom att lotsas in i arbetet och bli en del av teamet.

Egen erfarenhet av klinisk praktik inom såväl sjuksköterskeutbildning som intensivvårdsutbildning samt som handledare för studenter i grund och specialistutbildning inom intensivvård visar på att mötet och samspelet mellan hand- ledare och student är betydelsefullt för det fortsatta yrkeslivet. Hur kan den kliniska utbildningen förbättras? Jag anser att det är av största vikt att ta reda på hur studenterna upplever sin situation för att hjälpa handledarna under den kliniska utbildningen att ge det stöd studenterna har behov av. Om studenthandledningen förbättras blir intensivvårdsjuksköterskorna tryggare i sin yrkesroll, detta kommer patienterna tillgodo genom förbättrad omvårdnad. I bakgrunden finns en miljöbeskrivning av intensivvården, en beskrivning av student- handledning och tidigare forskning inom området.Syftet är att belysa vad nyfärdiga intensivvårdsjuksköterskor upplever att de behöver stöd med för att utvecklas till intensivvårdsjuksköterskor under studenthandledning i den kliniska utbildningen.Studien har genomförts i form av intervjuer och analyserats utifrån en fenomenologisk ansats på livsvärldsteoretiskgrund.

När sjuksköterskestudenten är färdigutbildad skall denne ut i arbetslivet och ensam hantera de uppgifter och situationer som uppstår. För att klara av detta krävs att studietiden varit givande och gett möjligheter att utveckla förmågan att bilda en god relation med patienterna. Syftet var att beskriva sjuksköterskestudenters upplevelser av relationen med patienter som de vårdat under den verksamhetsförlagda utbildningen. Metoden som användes var en litteraturstudie, denna byggde på tio kvalitetsgranskade artiklar som valdes ut efter sökning i databaserna CINAHL och Medline. Artiklarna granskades i sin helhet för att identifiera delar i materialet som gav svar på syftet.

The aim of my study is to investigate how last year students in upper secondary schoolunderstand certain mathematical concepts, in particular the unit circle and its trigonometry.I have used intentional analysis to interpret student?s actions when they solve certain tasks onthe basis of a cognitive, situated and cultural context.Interviews with four university teachers in mathematics about the unit circle, trigonometry,and mathematical understanding, serve both as background for the study and as basis for adiscussion, where I relate students understanding to what the teachers want new students toknow about these concepts when they begin university studies in mathematics.The students were arranged in three groups with three students in each group. Each group waspresented with two tasks, one in which they were asked to calculate the cosine values for onepointed, one blunt and one straight angle, each located in a separate triangle. They were alsoasked to decide whether the points (0,71; 0,71) and d (1 2 , 3 2 ) are located on the unit circleor not.My conclusion is that students mainly have an operational conception of the unit circle andtrigonometry. The lack of structural conceptions result in difficulties in seeing connectionsbetween the concepts in unfamiliar situations.

The objective of this thesis is to examine the capital structure of Swedish small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). Accounting data from Swedish game developers, combined with the result from a survey, is used to examine their financial conditions and capital structure decisions. We find that non-debt tax shield, firm size, growth opportunities and age are, to various extents, the determinants of capital structure in the game industry, while effective tax rate and asset structure have marginal effects. Our study also implicates that most of the existing capital structure theories can explain SMEs leverage decisions to some extent; however, some adaptation is needed to fit these theories into the SME context. Additionally, we find the existence of a financial gap in the game industry which might need efforts from both demand side and supply side to eliminate..

The development of the web has become an attractive area, with continuously and rapid development in the area it has led to a big change in the way of learning. Learning is a concept with many definitions, but a definition that is many at hand is that learning means that individuals seeking new knowledge and experiences that shape their goals, behavior and environment.With the development of the web a new way of learning emerged, E-learning. E-learning integrates information technology with the traditional learning to offers a flexible way of learning for students where they won't be dependent on time, place or others issues that would prevent their learning. E-learning takes shape of an application, LMS (Learning Management System). Today LMS are widely used in many universities, but with new technique comes new problems. The constant developments of the LMS have made the decision to use LMS difficult.

The purpose of this study has been to examine the archival management at the 14 Student Nations in Uppsala. This may be relevant to study to extend the research in the field that Berndt Frediksson calls ?empirical archival science?. Another reason is that the Student Nations hold a unique position as organisations and their archivists holds a unique position from a professional point of view as they mostly consist of students without professional archivist training. I have mainly focused on why the archival management at the Nations looked as they did.

In a school for children from 6-9 years in a small town in the southeast of Sweden, is areading activity program in progress since 8 years.

The objectives were to investigate if thechosen language abilities in these children were different compared to normative data andearlier studies in children at comparable ages.

Employable humanists. A qualitative study on humanist students' views on employability.The crisis of the humanities is a controversial debate in the media and within academic settings. Because of lack of request for humanists in the labor market, the question of humanistic skills and employability is becoming increasingly important. The concept of employability importance not only echoes within the economic discussions, but also on everyday agenda in the academic world and takes a large part in the communication between the university and the students. It is therefore important to get answers to the question whether there is conformity in the interpretation of this concept between the university and the students.The aim of this desk study is to examine how the concept of employability has its significance in the academic communication and how the responsibility for employability is portrayed.
